I wonder how many people have the same connotation as I do for the word “davenport?” When I grew up in Minnesota, a davenport was a piece of comfy living room furniture. The word was used the same way in North Dakota and Iowa, and maybe some other places. When I arrived here in Utah, people didn’t know what I was talking about when I invited them to sit on my davenport. I learned that here, it is a couch.
